Patient's question:
Hot flashes, poor sleep, calcium deficiency, liver heat. A friend suggested taking calcium supplements and vitamin E, is it necessary?Doctor's answer:
The onset of menopause is related to the dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis during menopause. Due to the decline in ovarian function, the level of progesterone decreases, leading to an increase in hormones secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. This can be considered a normal symptom of menopause and does not require special treatment. A balanced diet, appropriate exercise, and weight management can help recovery. In severe cases, hormone replacement therapy under the guidance of a physician is necessary. It is recommended to supplement calcium during menopause, which can help prevent calcium deficiency. However, the necessity of taking vitamin E is not significant.
